Optimized Features for High-end Handhelds and Portable Navigation

The new Samsung S3C2450 Mobile Application Processor has the performance and features required by advanced handheld devices. The S3C2450 has been optimized for demanding applications such as portable GPS, drawing on Samsung’s industry-leading semiconductor expertise and track record supporting major worldwide customers for GPS devices, smartphones and other multimedia and graphics-intensive applications.

The S3C2450 has a multilayered memory bus architecture with that allows simultaneous data transfer between processor, memory and peripherals, enabling designers to create devices with high performance and responsiveness. For example, in the case of portable GPS, the device can simultaneously display maps on the display and access map data from memory without compromising the user’s experience.
The new Samsung processor also includes 2D graphics accelerator and 32KB on-chip ROM for secure boot, with 128-bit security eFuse. S3C2450 support wide variety of high-bandwidth connectivity via high-speed USB 2.0 and MMC/SD interfaces, along with built-in interfaces to cameras, screens, storage and other peripherals. Included are fast CE ATA for connection to mobile hard drives and high-speed SPI that can be used for even more connectivity.

The new processor gives designers maximum flexibility, such as a broad choice of memory types to accommodate many different device designs. The S3C2450 supports MLC, SLC or OneNAND™ Flash as well as different kinds of mobile SDRAM, both single- and double-data rate. In addition, its flexible LCD controller enables designers to specify many different displays, such as 4-bit CSTN or 24-bit TFT with dedicated DMA.
